so... any of you guys take the plunge and install that new cyanogenmod besides me? so far, it's pretty rock solid. i've had no issues whatsoever. got netflix on my mobile device finally! and in canada!!!

I like WebOS3 as well, but despite the dev's claims, people using the alpha seem to say its surprisingly stable and usable, as well as mostly feature complete. Seeing as how I can't use the camera in the TouchPad without PAYING for another app, I'd say thats a boon too.

Considering there's no fast ebook reader (pReader is slow and cuts off the bottom of my booklist while Amazon Kindle is just slow), no decent PDF reader (Adobe Reader is slow and doesn't even reflow text) and a poor web browser (Advanced is a bit better but still pretty bad), to the point where I spend half my time in Ubuntu just to have useful apps (and believe me, Ubuntu is NOT touchscreen optimized), I'd say even an alpha of Cyanogenmod is likely to be nearly as good if not better.

However, I'll see later and will report back. I'll definitely miss card view but I won't miss the random lags.

Nice, looking forward to trying this but probably once it's developed just a bit more.

WebOS is really quite nice for a mobile OS, multitasking on it is fantastic, it's just too bad HP didn't optimize it enough or properly for the Touchpad hardware. I didn't even get into any WebOS 'hacks' yet like overclocking or the other perofrmance hacks, maybe I'll give that a spin first.

Definitely this. I love the difference. Really took it from okay to being pretty awesome (for me). I love the SMEs app. And as a kindle reader I am satisfied.

In the end it's just the little things that eventually turned me off WebOS (and it's not WebOS's fault technically).

For example, scrollbars. Whenever you try to scroll a long list in WebOS, there are simply no scrollbars. Not only you can't tell where you are on a page, but you can't quickly jump to a point on the page except by rapidly flicking your finger to scroll down.

Anyway, I'm glad Android does sideloading. Opera Mobile didn't show up in the market for some reason but a quick sideload later, it's running like butter in full screen.

Also, the WebOS keyboard (when it's not freezing up) is much nicer than the Android one. I'll probably get Swiftkey X later to have a better keyboard. At least Android supports alternate IMEs (no Chinese input for YOU in WebOS).
